Poor old Gary Bowyer, he's got no idea how tough life is going to get when after ten games his team are well adrift of the top 6. It's going to be Steve Kean all over again as the natives get restless.

Can't wait for my favourite comedy series to continue in August.

And me Match of the Day on BBC @ 10-30ish will be great watching Burnley being beaton time after time,can't wait myself,have put a note on the calendar and will see how many posts on here from you??but by then you will have changed your name AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN

Match of the day.

Do you remember when you used to be on that?

Yes, in fact I've still got the recording of when we won the Premiership title on it.

Bought.

Bought the Premiership title.

Nonsense. Which of the following Premier League winners didn't spend a lot of money in order to do so.

Man U?
Chelsea?
Man City?
Arsenal?

And what about the following teams who threw loads of cash at it but never managed it:

Newcastle
Liverpool
Spurs
Villa
Middlesbrough

If you can buy the title, as you say, then how come they didn't manage it as they certainly paid enough for it?

Bitter Dingle - "Boo Hoo, we'll never win a trophy in our lifetimes, so we'll try to look for a reason to try and degrade yours"

What about the League Cup - did we buy that as well? No doubt you think we did you bitter Dingle!

In fact you're so bitter about it that you devote your whole life to writing on these pages.

"Nonsense. Which of the following Premier League winners didn't spend a lot of money in order to do so. Man U? Chelsea? Man City? Arsenal?"


Man U? - Still a PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB, and have since become CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE twice. Never been relegated from the Premier League. Average attendance 75,207.

Chelsea? - Still a PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB, 3 times Premier League Champions, have since become CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE. Never been relegated from the Premier League. Average attendance 41,482.

Man City? - Still a PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB, 2 time Premier League champions. Average attendance 47,080.

Arsenal? - Still a PREMIER LEAGUE CLUB, 3 times Premier League Champions, In 18 consecutive Premier League seasons have not finished outside of the top 4. Average attendance 59,487.

Blackburn? Got lucky with outside investment, outspent everyone else for a couple of seasons, bought the title, since relegated TWICE, owned by Indian chicken farmers, now a penniless mid-table Championship club paying the price for years of gross overspending. Average attendance 14,961.


Can you see the difference between the clubs you highlighted and your own club? These are top flight clubs who generate a massive income through season ticket sales, commercial revenue and the ability to attract the top sponsorship deals due to their success. You on the other hand were simply a blip in the natural order and have since found your level.

To put it into perspective, in the time since Blackburn Rovers last won any form of honour fair and square (without a massive financial investment) which was the FA Cup way back in 1928, right up until Jackpot Jack bought the league, you won NOTHING. 67 years worth of nothing.

During the same time period, Burnley won the title, reached 2 FA Cup finals, reached the European Cup Quarter Final and won the Charity Shield twice.

Can you explain the 67 year absence of silverware, and the coincidence of its return in conjunction with your club being backed to the tune of £100million? The simple facts are your club only managed to scrape itself up into a temporary false position due to a massive cash injection, and it makes you so bitter and angry to see that little old Burnley have joined the elite by spending next to nothing, now that's a real achievement.

What an idiot!
